0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Sales Jobs is a UK-focused online job board specializing in sales roles across multiple sectors. The platform offers job search capabilities, CV registration, job alerts, and recruitment advertising services, targeting both job seekers and recruiters within the sales industry. The website is powered by CV-Library Ltd, a recognized recruitment platform, which enhances its market credibility and reach. The site demonstrates a professional and consistent brand presence with a clear focus on the UK sales job market. From a technical perspective, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Bing UET, and Clickstream Analytics for user tracking and performance monitoring. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, providing a good user experience. The use of HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms indicates a commitment to user privacy and security, although explicit security headers and incident response policies are not publicly documented. Security posture is solid with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of published security policies and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident readiness. The WHOIS lookup for the domain 'www.sales-jobs.co.uk' failed due to domain naming rules, indicating the queried domain is a subdomain rather than a registered domain. This does not detract from the site's legitimacy, as the main domain 'sales-jobs.co.uk' is presumably registered and operated by CV-Library Ltd. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional platform for sales job seekers and recruiters in the UK, with a mature technical infrastructure and good privacy compliance. Strategic enhancements in security transparency and direct contact information could further strengthen user trust and compliance posture.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

Priority findings

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context

Business profile

Sales Jobs operates as a niche job board within the UK sales recruitment sector, leveraging the infrastructure and brand of CV-Library Ltd. Its business model centers on providing job search and recruitment advertising services, generating revenue likely through job postings and premium recruiter services. The platform targets sales professionals across various sub-industries, including estate agency, telesales, and B2B sales, addressing a broad market segment. The integration with CV-Library enhances its market position and user base. The site’s partnership ecosystem includes major recruiters and companies, as evidenced by logos displayed on the homepage. Growth indicators include a large number of active job listings and active job alert services. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a focus on digital engagement via forms and account registrations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent banners, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Tracking and analytics scripts are implemented responsibly with user consent mechanisms. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of published security or incident response policies indicate gaps in security transparency. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, limiting external reporting channels. The WHOIS data anomaly is due to querying a subdomain rather than the registered domain, not a security concern but worth noting. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by publishing formal security policies and improving header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Provide clear company contact emails and phone numbers for support and security reporting to improve trust and compliance.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Bing UET, and Clickstream Analytics for tracking and performance monitoring. It leverages asynchronous and deferred JavaScript loading to optimize page load times. The site is mobile responsive with good accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. The HTML and CSS are well structured with proper meta tags for SEO. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not explicitly available but usage of AWS API Gateway endpoints indicates cloud infrastructure. Performance is moderate with room for optimization in script loading and caching strategies. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly experience.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
